You know what would be an absolutely great idea? Putting a can of mace on an iPhone case. There’s absolutely no way, whatsoever, that could possibly go wrong.

Spraytect

Essentially, as a case, it’s a standard iPhone case. It’s nothing particularly amazing in that respect, although we’re sure it’ll do a passable job as a case that protects your phone. No, the really interesting part comes into play with the mountable rails on the side.

Those rails allow you to slide, as you may have guessed, a small can of pepper spray onto the back of the phone, and also allows you to remove it if you have to go through airport security.

The idea is that if you’re away at college, you’ll be bringing a self-defense weapon with you wherever you go, because your phone will be with you no matter where you go.

Yeah, because giving eighteen-year-olds pepper spray that they have with them, at all times, in any situation, is not a disaster waiting to happen. People newly discovering alcohol, with pepper spray! That won’t end badly!

Dan Seitz is a semi-professional nerd (he'll have to code a homebrew game for the NES before he goes pro). He grew up fiddling with video game systems, computers, cameras, and other technology you should never hand to an eight-year-old if you want it back in pristine condition. Currently, he lives in Boston with his girlfriend, her cat, a Shih Tzu, and far too many objects with processors.
